This recipe is for bread machines, in particular, the 1.5 lb panasonic
machine.
HONEY WHOLE WHEAT for the LARGE PANASONIC MODEL
1.5 t salt
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/3 cup cornmeal (I use masa harina)
2 T gluten
3 T nonfat dry milk
1/3 cup honey
1.5 cups water
1 T yeast
Place all ingredient except yeast in the pan. Place yeast in the
dispenser. Program for Whole Wheat (for dark crusty crust) or Basic
Bread (lighter crust) and press start. Wait 3-4 hours. This makes a
2 lb loaf.
I find Red Star Active Dry Yeast to be the best. When I was actively
baking, I'd get it in 2lb packs from the wholesale warehouse stores
and keep it in the frige (much cheaper that way). Adding gluten
(vital wheat gluten or gluten flour, not hi-gluten flour) to whole
wheat breads really helps a lot. The bran in whole wheat bread
inhibits the formation of the long protein gluten strands that trap
gas bubbles and give bread its spongyness. Adding more gluten to
compensate makes whole wheat breads lighter. Try 1-4 T per loaf.
